Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 110: First class agent

Views:

Gao Zhizhou and the other three people never expected that their careful persuasion would result in an even more vengeful blow from the prince! The Japanese country sent back all the students from Tang Dynasty!

This... Once such a decree is issued, it will definitely cause shock in the court immediately, and it will definitely make the Japanese country more hostile to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, this matter is not legal, right? If this happens, won't the Japanese country be more hostile to us, the Tang Dynasty?" Gao Zhizhou frowned and sighed in his heart. If he had known better, he would not have mentioned it to this little ancestor. . It would be a good idea to send all the Japanese students back directly.

"Jurisprudence? What is jurisprudence? I am jurisprudence! Talking about jurisprudence with the Japanese country? Are you not mentally ill! And your hostility has deepened. Does the Tang Dynasty need to care about the attitude of a small country? Gao Zhizhou, today I will With that said, you can go back and tell the Japanese envoys that sooner or later I, Li Hong, will personally defeat the Japanese!"

The three of them were also confused. The prince didn't know why. As long as he mentioned Japan, Goryeo and other countries, His Highness seemed to be ignited, and he was filled with anger and disgust.

"Then... I'll take my leave." The three of them stood up and said at the same time.

Li Hong waved his hand and asked the three of them to leave. When the three of them reached the door, they were stopped by Li Hong.

"Wait a minute, you three sign this first." Li Hong glanced at the paperwork on the corner of the table and pointed it to them.

Gao Zhizhou's sharp eyes saw it at a glance. It was an execution document about two Japanese envoys!

The three of them stood in front of the table. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then you looked at the sneering face behind the table. They were all sighing.

The three of them knew that if they didn't sign this, let alone whether He Lan Minzhi and others could be taken away today, there was still a question whether they could walk out of the door of this room.

Just look at that little face and you will know that today you have to sign even if you don’t sign, and you have to sign if you sign. Once signed, the matter will be handled by Datang Law, and the case will be settled. Without signing, the prince could still kill two Japanese envoys, but he would just lose credibility.

According to the Tang Dynasty system, general cases were tried by the Menxia Sheng, Shi Zhong, Zhongshu Sheng, Zhongshu Sheren, and Yushitai Yushi. This was the Xiaosansi.

And if it is a major case, such as the case that Li Hong personally tried, it involves too many areas and has many levels, so it has to be jointly tried by three big bosses: the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Yushi Zhongcheng.

In the end, the three people had no choice but to sign their names, stamp their seals, and then took the warrant signed by the prince and went to the restricted cell to pick up the person.

The smile on Zong Chuke's face has not disappeared in the past few days, and he probably has a bright smile on his face even when he is sleeping.

Watching the three adults leave with their heads down, he didn't even pay attention to or care about the salutes on the side. After the three people left, he hurried into the building.

"Is Your Highness here? I would like to see you, Zong Chuke." Zong Chuke said, looking at the maid at the door.

The maid at the door took his token and looked at it, then gave it back to him casually. Although this person often appeared in the manor these days, his level was obviously too low.

Anyone who came to this manor to see the prince was not a senior official or an official of the fourth rank, or a member of the royal family. The youngest one was from a noble family.

Li Hong lazily basked in the sunshine that came through the window, looked at Zong Chuke who was standing beside him, and asked strangely: "What happy event did you have to become so beautiful? Did you marry a concubine?"

"No, no, no, Your Highness, you are joking. I followed your method and helped Lantian County sell a lot of jade. I even negotiated cooperation with several merchants. In the future, they will often come to the shop to buy jade. So... So... So I came here today to thank His Highness."

"Come empty-handed?" Li Hong looked at Zong Chuke's empty hands and asked lightly.

"Uh... this... you know I am short of money..." Zong Chuke stood there awkwardly. The maid on the side changed all the tea for Li Hong, but did not prepare it for Zong Chuke.

"Then you are really embarrassed to say that you came to thank me? Forget it, I won't ask you for anything. Let's do this. I'll give you a task. If you complete it, I'll give you a promotion. If you don't complete it well, Lingnan There is a shortage of county magistrates right now. How about I reserve a spot for you when the time comes?" Li Hong said, looking out the window at a group of people walking in a hurry.

"I should be ashamed of myself, for Your Majesty..."

"Okay, if you don't know how to take pictures, don't take pictures. Have you seen those people?" Li Hong pointed at a group of people who were about to walk in outside and said with a headache.

"I see, Your Highness, these are the clan members. I have met them often in Taiyi City these days."

"Yes, that's right. So your task is to send them away, not let me send them away. No matter what method you use, is it feasible?"

Zong Chuke looked at Li Hong's face that looked like a smile but not a smile. He wanted to show a crying expression at this moment, but because he had been wearing a bright smile for the past few days, he felt like crying now.

Li Hong sighed helplessly, knowing that there was no hope for him. He stood up and said to the maid: "Tell Xia Zhi to open the conference room and ask them to wait for me there. I will be there soon."

No need to guess, these people are from clans that have not been issued permission orders, and naturally among them are Princess Qianjin and King Cao Li Ming.

What Li Hong didn't expect was that Princess Honghua and her husband, Prince Tuyuhun and his wife who had been destroyed, actually came together.

Li Hong didn't know whether they would raise an army to investigate or ask him to give them more places.

He stayed in the room for as long as a stick of incense. Just when Xia Zhi could no longer control the dissatisfaction of everyone in the small conference room, Li Hongcai, accompanied by Xiaoxue and Zong Chuke, slowly walked in.

"Hong'er has met Aunt Huang, Hong'er has met Aunt Honghua..." The clan also has clan etiquette, and these are the people Li Hong needs to see.

And when he finished the ceremony, these royal families presented him with the ceremony as ministers. In short, even if the royal family had the simplest meeting, it would be difficult for the royal family to sit down and get down to business without a cup of tea.

After the guests of honor sat down, Li Hong waved his hand and asked Xiaoxue to distribute the pile of papers in his arms to everyone present.

"You guys read it first, and if you have any questions after reading it, ask me and we can discuss it later, okay?" Li Hong said hurriedly as he watched Princess Qianjin raise her head.

Princess Honghua looked at the three simple pieces of paper in her hand. She originally wanted to open her mouth, but seeing what Li Hong said, she had no choice but to lower her head and take a look at what these were.

After Li Hong finished speaking, he saw everyone lowering their heads to study. Even Suo Yuanli, who had been following Princess Qianjin and Wen Ting, asked for a portion from Xiaoxue.

So Li Hong pointed at Suo Yuanli and said, "Get out."

"Your Highness, little one..."

"This is my royal family. Who do you think you are? Get out." Li Hong stared at Suo Yuanli with unforgiving eyes and said.

Princess Qianjin glanced at the reluctant Suo Yuanli, then at the determined Li Hong, raised her head and said to Suo Yuanli who stood up, "Then you can wait outside."

Looking at Suo Yuanli's leaving figure, Li Hong thought firmly in his heart that he would never let this man get even half a step closer to the court in his lifetime.

"What does this agent mean? There is also this first-level agent. What is the difference between it and the second-level agent?" King Cao Li Ming took the lead in reading and put down the documents in his hands and asked.

"It's very simple. You get the goods from Taiyi City at a low price every month, and then you can sell them to other shops at the price I set, and you earn the difference." Li Hong said simply.

"Then why does it need to be for one year?" Princess Honghua raised her head and asked.

"Because I want to ensure absolute fairness. Otherwise, there will be no difference between those businessmen who have obtained the same license orders as you within three years."

"So even if we wait for three to five years, we will never be able to get the semi-finished product or the production method to make it ourselves?" Princess Qianjin saw that this was actually a temporary perfunctory strategy of this cunning man.

In this way, they can stop their mouths and allow them to see huge short-term benefits. However, when the businessmen who have obtained the license can completely make their own products, they will have a price advantage over them, and even if it is this... At that time, all the advantages of first-level agents will be gone, and they will also have to face price competition with other merchants.

In this way, it is impossible to do it once and for all. You will always have to look at Li Hong's eyes and sign once a year. That is to say, if Li Hong is in a good mood this year, he will sign it to you. If he is in a bad mood, he will not like you. This year He has stripped you of your status as a first-level agent and has no autonomy at all.

Because of the expenses of the house and other expenses, I have to obey Li Hong's orders and be obedient to this first-level agent. Otherwise, if Li Hong is unhappy, he will stop supplying you, so that you can no longer sell it to other shops.

"Hong'er, if this happens, won't we never be able to compete with those who hold permission orders? Do you really not intend to give the royal family a way out?" King Cao Li Ming was a little angry. As the emperor's uncle, he , to be treated like this made him feel very unbalanced!

Bai Chun and Hu Bu were disqualified for no reason or reason. This matter had made him and Princess Qian Jin depressed for several days.

And every day when I look at the people coming out of the Taiyi City Council Hall in the big room opposite the manor, the expression on each person's face is as comfortable and satisfied as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. Watching those people whispering to each other, talking and laughing, or Whether they were discussing the good or bad of the permit, or discussing the representatives of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce and the Taoist Chamber of Commerce, seeing these made them feel ashamed.

Especially seeing that other clans not only obtained the permission order, but also used their reputation in various fiefdoms to be directly elected as the president of the chamber of commerce by other businessmen, who can represent the merchants and come to Taiyi City to participate in the chamber of commerce every year.

Seeing these scenes, I feel like I was slapped hard on the face. It hurts, but there is nothing I can do about it.
